This Makita blade is built to get the most out of your cordless circular saw. The 5-3/8 inch diameter fits Makita's compact cordless saws perfectly. The key feature is the ultra-thin kerf (only .059\) – that means the blade removes less material as it cuts, which reduces drag on the motor. For a battery-powered saw, that translates to more cuts per charge and less strain. The 16 carbide-tipped teeth are arranged in an ATAF grind (Alternate Top Bevel with Alternate Face), which gives you a nice balance of fast cutting and a relatively smooth finish in wood, plywood, and other general materials. It's a great all-around blade for crosscuts, rip cuts, and miters. The steel plate is fully hardened and hand-tensioned for straight, true cuts and durability. Maximum RPM is 4,500, and it has a standard 5/8\ arbor (no diamond knockout). If you're running a Makita cordless saw and want a blade that improves efficiency and cut quality, this is a top-tier choice from a trusted tool brand.
